In the spirit of serenity (and an ode to a lovely 2 1/2 day spa vacation my husband and I are wrapping up) I’m posting this gentle design with these thoughts:

    I like this one a lot. There is curvi-ness (is that a word?) reflected in every part of this pendant. Also, the colors are just so harmonious. The whole result is very elegant and regal looking. Am I correct in guessing that this one could be made relatively inexpensively, except for the gold?

  2. Hi Helen,

    Glad you like this one. Yes, it wouldn’t be outrageously expensive since amethysts are not too costly and the setting is fairly simple. Gold, of course, is high right now…I can’t believe that it was only at about $500 when I started working for David Liska just 4 years ago.

    But there is lots about this economy that I’m not able to wrap my mind around these days, either.

    Hope you have a nice weekend!
    Joana
